The Kind of Persons Who Are Wanted

Young people who intend to learn
shorthand and type-writing may prof

other day by a New York business
man who has employed shorthand
writers for many years, and keeps sew

is so easy nowadays to learn shorthand
in our large cities, that large num-
Der of young men and young women
are looking to that art, and to its as

earning their subsistence. Ingenious
teachers have learned just how to help
their pupils over the difficulties and to
get them quickly able to ''take down"
a vast number of words in minute.
But according to our New Yorker,
the kind of person who is IcaRted in a

pencil polite no. He wants his clerk
to write an answer refusing the favor
in Il gentle, conciliatory manner, ac-
cording to the nature of the request
and the character, standing and sex of
the applicant. This requires judg-
ment and some little knowledge of the

shorthand writers are unable to ac-
complish it On another note, asking

ceptably the note required by this di-

not possess, and perhaps could never
acquire.

PASTEUR'S TREATMENT.
Statistical Facts Relating to the French
Savant's HydrophobIa Cure.


According to the report of the per-
petual secretary, the number of per-
sons subjected at the institute to the
Pasteur treatment during the fourteen
months from the end of October, 1885,
to the end of December, 1886, was, in
all, 1852.
Of this number, 2, 164 had been bit
ten by animals known for certain to
have been mad at the time of biting,
and the remaining 51S by animals sus-
pected to have been mad. Of the
2,164 bitten by animals undoubtedly
mad, and treated according to Pas
teur's method, 20 persons died. repre-
senting proportionate mortality of
1.34 per cent. Of the 51S bitten by
animals presumed to be mad and sub
jected to Pasteur's treatment, only two
died--i. e., 0.38 per cent.
Now, the statistics of rabies before
the discovery and application of the
Pasteur method give the proportion Of
mortality from that disease among the
persons affected by it as at lowest 16
per cent. II, then, the 2,164 persons
in the state described had not been
treated by the Pasteur method, the
cases of mortality among them, ac-
cording to the determination of the
statistics, would have been, not go, but
SAG. That is to say, of the 2l64 per-
sons, 317 owe their present existence
to Pasteur's method.
Looking, next, exclusively to the
most dangerous cases, we find that
there were 48 persons bitten by mad
wolves, 1856 persons bitten on the head
or face by animals known to be mad,
and % bitten on the head or face by
animals presumed to be mad. Of the
4S in question died.. e., a mortality
of IA per cent.
The mortality in similar cases be-
fore the Pasteur method is ascertained
to have been 60 to so per cent More
over, three of the forty-eight persons
had actually broken out in rabies be-
fore the application of the treatment,
and their deaths may therefore be left
out of account, thus reducing the NOR
tality of this class under the Pasteur
treatment to 8 per cent, as against 60
per cent to so per cent. without the
Pasteur treatment. Of the 1856 above
specified, the number of persons who
died was nine, or 4S3 per cent, as
against So per cent without the Pas
teur treatment. That is, out of the
1856, 1853 would have died but for the
Pasteur treatment, whereas with the
Pasteur treatment only nine died.
Lastly, of the 2S above specified only
one died-i. e., a mortality of 357 per
cent. All that does not, however, ex-
haust the statement of the Pasteur
benefit. For some months past NJ
Pasteur has modified his method, and
in the most serious case has applied,
not simple, but intensive treatment as
he terms it. And, whereas out of the
1856 specially serious cases in which the
simple treatment was applied nine
died, in so specially serious cases in
which intensive treatment was ap-
piled no mortality whatever followed.
DIR. Vulpian, the secretary of the in
stitu.e, is. therefore, fully justified in
his conclusion that Pasteur's prevent
i've treatment for rabies is one of the
happiest discoveries ever made. either
from a scientific or humanitarian
point of view.-LOndoH Tines

Co-Education of the Sexes.

admission of women to the university:
Hundreds of women have availed
themselves Of the privileges offered
them here. and have gone forth. sew
eral of them to foreign lands, as mis-
sionary teachers or missionary physi-
clan, many to various parts of our
country as teachers in high schools,
academies and colleges. and the rest TO
various stations in professional, official
and domestic life, which women of
culture are fitted to occupy. The sue
